Final farewells to Sen. John McCain begin at Arizona Capitol

The McCain family had Davis read McCain's farewell message on Monday, which Davis said he was honored to do. I am so honoured to have been able to call Senator McCain my friend, and am grateful to his family for allowing my family to be a part of their lives. Ducey is also headed for a tough reelection battle in the fall, and is seeking a smooth replacement process.

McCain's wife, Cindy, widely seen as a possible candidate for appointment to succeed her husband, led a procession of 90 mourners past his casket.

"Given the political world as it is today, why go do this?"

Kyl said he would miss McCain, whose greatest contribution was national security. At 11am ET on Friday, August 31, his family, colleagues and staff will honor his memory in a private ceremony.

"He believed in something", said Hubbard, who had voted for McCain. Trump tweeted about McCain after his death Saturday but has passed up several chances to speak publicly on the Arizona senator.

NBC News reported that during the service, Gov. Doug Ducey stated that McCain was not only a major figure in the history of Arizona but the state's "favorite adopted son".

Two groups who traveled to Arizona from San Diego to pay their respects to John McCain had been waiting outside in the heat since early morning. The senator said Trump would be a "disaster" if nominated, but since Trump won the election, Graham has been a frequent golf partner of the president and sought to influence him on foreign policy.

"Imagining Arizona without John McCain is like picturing Arizona without the Grand Canyon", Ducey said at one point in his remarks.
